After wrapping up Rangoon, Kangana Ranaut has started work on Hansal Mehta’s next titled Simran. The actress will be seen playing a girl from Gujarat, based in California. Once again, her character will have a strong accent, like it did in Tanu Weds Manu Returns and Rangoon, and is possibly the most challenging for her in that sense.
To prepare for the role, Kangana will visit Gujarat with Mehta to catch a few plays and understand the language and its nuances better. When contacted, director Hansal Mehta said, “I don’t want to discuss the process as of now,” and refused to divulge any details about the project or Kangana’s role in the film.
Simran is a story about a bank robber and will be shot in real locations. Unlike Mehta’s other films that have been shot in India, this one will be shot partly in the United States. Simran, however, is a working title and it may be changed later.
There were reports that Kangana Ranaut was in two minds about working in Hansal Mehta’s next, after Aligarh was a dud at the box office, but the actress seems to have made her decision finally. When asked about it she said, “Yes, I am very much doing Hansal sir’s film.”
